Roy Hibbert added 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Pacers, who had lost 16 of
their last 19 meetings with the Cavaliers and 11 of the last 13 in Cleveland,
although that team boasted new Heat forward LeBron James. Without James,
Indiana was able to hold the Cavs to only 31 second-half points.

Mike Dunleavy contributed with 20 points in the win.

"I got it going early and pretty much carried it throughout the game," Granger
said. "I think our defense in the second half was really the key."

Antawn Jamison scored 19 to lead Cleveland, which has lost two straight after
a three-game win streak. Ramon Sessions added 17 points, while Daniel Gibson
and J.J. Hickson recorded 15 and 12 points, respectively, in defeat.

"I just thought we stopped playing," said Cavs head coach Byron Scott. "That's
two straight second halves -- the third quarter has been an issue all season
long. We have to figure out what's going on the second half. We have to come
out with a lot more energy than we did tonight."

The game was tied at halftime, and Indiana came out firing to start the second
half, making its first four shots during a 9-2 burst that ended with
Dunleavy's basket for a 63-56 lead.

The Pacers continued to play frontrunner for the entire third quarter, and
Cleveland scored just 14 points in the frame. Gibson's three in the final
moments allowed the Cavs to cut their deficit to 73-68 heading to the fourth.

Jamison pulled Cleveland to within 75-72 on a jumper in the first two minutes
of the fourth, but back-to-back three-pointers by Granger and Dunleavy put
Indiana ahead by nine with just over nine minutes to play.

The Cavs seemed to halt the momentum with another Jamison basket, but the
Pacers scored the next six points, with Hibbert's seven-footer providing an
87-74 cushion with 6 1/2 minutes to play.

Cleveland didn't get closer than eight the rest of the way.

Cleveland held a slim 30-26 advantage after the first quarter, but Indiana
came back to tie the game, 54-54, at halftime.
